ABOUT TRICIA – ART TEACHING & TUITION
I’m Tricia Johnson, a qualified art tutor with over 25 years’ teaching experience, offering friendly, structured, and supportive art tuition for adults, young people, and community groups. Now based in West Somerset, I teach both online and in person, working from community venues, private homes, and art studios.
My teaching focuses on helping students grow in confidence, skills, and creativity, whether they are complete beginners, returning to art after a break, or developing a portfolio for further study or personal goals.
How I Teach
I tailor every session to the individual. My teaching style is calm, encouraging, and practical, with clear guidance and plenty of space to experiment and learn at your own pace. I work across drawing, painting, mixed media, and printmaking, adapting techniques to suit each learner’s interests and abilities.
